Getaway Cars:
During the Cold War, spies and ordinary citizens alike risked their lives to escape the oppression of East Germany.
One strategy was to modify the getaway vehicle to carry hidden passengers. People would endure almost any discomfort to evade detection, hiding under back seats or beneath false floors, or even strapped underneath the car.
Some East Germans were so desperate to reunite with loved ones in the West that they planned ingenious ways to sneak across the Berlin Wall. |
